I think we should go to the draft this year with as much draft capital as possible. Hopefully we can bring in one or two UFA,s too. 
We probably need to go hard at next years draft too before we start trading top picks for players. That’s 2 years to add to our crop of young players and one to target more mature players through trading before the Tassie team enters starts in 2027. 
I remember being super impressed with Richmond’s recruitment in 21. A year after their last flag and they went to the draft with 5 picks inside the top 30. A year later they added Hopper and Taranto. But look where they are now. I don’t know if they over estimated the quality on their list and the 5 they picked certainly have really starred so far. But it goes to show how difficult it can be to get these things right. 

I give you Jason Taylor

Why thank you Roost, I’ll gladly take him. Any chance you could give me an upgrade on Tim Lamb while you at it?

Tom Morris reporting that Rowan Marshal is not all that happy at Saints.

I know the duel ruck set up with Grundy didn't work and has left some people scarred, but Ro-Mo is a genuine fwd threat and can play that role, as well as giving Max a very good chop out in the ruck.

Will cost a lot to get him, but could it be worth it?

yep, but the aints will want clayton oliver for him

Oliver doesn't want out.  Its a pipe dream trade but if he did want out and it cost us draft capital it might be worth it. Tomlinson would be a good fit for them too. he is out of contract but he actually would be perfect for them.

I don't think this will happen but if there is a chance i hope they are picking up the phone to his management

 


I think it is risky to avoid drafting in the next 2 years given Tassie will probably get some AFL assistance thereafter. Look what happened to the team (us) that was at the bottom of the ladder when GCS and GWS entered the league..........we were rubbish for 10 years. A few draft shockers didn't help either mind you.

Don't get me wrong i love JT, but he has had as many misses as hits since he has been there.  

Development and coaching is more important.

he has been there since 2012, wish it wasn't true.  But the Dees faithful do put him in too high a regard IMO

And helped take one of the worst performing clubs in history to a premiership?

The Weid over Curnow/McKay was his biggest miss. But he hasn't missed too often in that time.

tomlinson is an unrestricted free agent, but they might want to trade for him...

he could walk to the aints and fit right into their backline...mostly cos we're picking up battle as our own ufa from them...

there is a lot in there, Toumpas as well.  Kent, Jones, Terlich, Kennedy-Harris, Baker, Stretch, McDonald

He isn't bad but i just don't think as good as others think.  And at the time of the draft players are different to what they are now, everyone was scared of Curnow because he was done drink driving and had some off field issues, no club would say no now.

He is good at his job, but development is more important.

That's a nice under the table agreement we could make 

Weid had tiny little arms, having massive biceps is the best base for a full forward apparently

Fairly certain Taylor's first draft was 2013 with Salem.

Wasn't responsible for the selections of Toumpas, Terlich, Kent, Matty Jones etc... I actually rated Kent, shame he was just so injury prone.

I'm pretty sure he came on after the 2012 draft, so wasn't involved in drafting Toumpas.

Anyway don't want to get into revisionism about every draft, but I'm sure if we looked into it in detail he would be up there as one of the best draft talent spotters in the competition.

I loved all of them, i thought Jay Kennedy-Harris was going to be a star.  And was a big fan of Billy Stretch too.

It's 90%+ selection. That's why Harry Sheezel thrives while Will Phillips plays in the magoos most weeks. One was a good pick, one wasn't.

All recruiters have misses. Its about the players with lousy picks and rookies that matter. With luck Windsor, Kolt and JVR will be elite. Fingers crossed for K Brown as well.

I have high hopes for McVee and Howes also.

Can take a few years for a player to come really good. After his 3rd preseason we may see Jeffo start being a serviceable KP on his way to being good at the top level.

100% Agree, i have huge wraps on Kolt, he reminds me a lot of Petracca at the same age.  Windsor looks amazing and exactly what we need.  JVR i think will be a premo forward of the comp.  I'm not as optimistic on Brown, sort of the same boat as Woewodin, they don't have all the talent but sound like they are work horses which you do also need.

Agree with McVee and Howes, both can be future midfielders for us.

And now the news of AMW this week, good luck to him.

Investigations can take a long time, it makes no difference to us now he will be delisted by the club at seasons end .

I don't want to be any more specific than that really. Other than supply and demand and join the dots

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
